The Merrimack Valley YMCA has been strengthening the foundations of community for 139 years. Staff, volunteers and friends of the YMCA gathered at our Annual Meeting on January 30, 2020 to honor volunteers of the year, celebrate the accomplishments of the last 12 months and feature some of the programs that ensure the Y is here for all. Methuen Mayor Neil Perry opened the meeting, which was held at the Merrimack Valley Golf Course in Methuen, by reminding those in attendance that community is about participation.
